D Muret, V Root, P Kieliba, D Clode, TR Makin - Cell reports, 2022 - cell.com
The homunculus in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is famous for its body part selectivity,
but this dominant feature may eclipse other representational features, eg, information …

The cortical physiology of ipsilateral limb movements

DT Bundy, EC Leuthardt - Trends in neurosciences, 2019 - cell.com
Whereas voluntary movements have long been understood to derive primarily from the
cortical hemisphere contralateral to a moving limb, substantial cortical activations also occur …
